While we're doing anecdotes: I essentially never meet people who own an iPhone, and I've lived (3 months+) in a huge number of countries and cities. The handful people who do are American; bubbles exist :)
For a long time, high end graphics and games was mainly done on Windows and Visual Studio. I'm from that world, and only made the Linux transition last year November after Microsoft forced everyone's hand.
- dmd 4mo agoYep. I'm in Boston (USA) and I have literally met perhaps 2 people ever who have an Android phone - and both of them aren't from the US.
- smcleod 4mo agoShows how different countries are. In Australia the vast majority of people seem to have an iPhone, with Android being the outlier (at least in the major cities, I can't speak to rural areas). In the workplace it's far more common to see devs running Mac's than Windows, obviously there's pockets where you still see Microsoft but it seems pretty rare amongst engineers these days here. People will say I'm living in a bubble but I'm a consultant that hops around all sorts of clients so if I am it's probably a bubble of being in a city (Melbourne in my case).
